Title: pizza tran (live)

Album: the show must go off dvd (newest one) LIVE VERSION OF THE SONG!!

Transcribed by: paul

Email: aint_life_a_bitc_h@hotmail.com

this song is off the live dvd, from the house of blues.

there is one part to be explained:

the part with the impossible pull offs (12p2, 12p3) is done by

fretting the lower notes eg 3, 4,5 etc with the right hand

,and the tapping at the twelfth fret is done with the left hand.

while the left taps (12p0) the right slides up the neck, but i have

provided the tab of the notes he uses just for easier reading. if you

dont believe me, watch the dvd, he does do it!! another person to use

this technique is mr Joe Satriani! so it is real! anyway enjoy, play with lots of energy

and on the very fast chromatic fills, dont worry bout slight note errors,

they are played very fast and randomly so use the technique

shown for each fill and just go nuts!! (the fills are the ones on the G string!)

well thats the whole song. hope you enjoy, this took me a while to tab! please leave a comment

, as i said, im not a tab book, if there is an error it will be very slight as i

have checked this over thourougly! and BUY THE DVD! THIS IS NOT THE ORIGINAL ALBUM VERSION!
